> I don't know why such fuss has been made in the media about this.  Under

>  departments for violating Chinese law
> http://blog.foreignpolicy.com/node/461876  His own community has delivered
> a
>  verdict upon him: he is a criminal.  He deserves 'fair treatment' no more
>  than the trolls who have disrupted the Wikipedia deserve so-called 'fair
>  treatment'.  Those who violate community norms, such as Xiaobo (in the
> case
>  of China) or many of the disruptive elements who create havoc on the
> project
>  by their offensive comments and offsite attacks.  The Chinese government

>  would happen on Wikipedia, by means of blocks in article space, talk pages
>  and email access.  More power to the community!
